Real-time fall detection based on vision for low-power edge platforms

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 12909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Falling detection is vital for elderly care and intelligent surveillance; however, prevailing vision-based approaches predominantly frame it as static pose classification or discrete temporal pattern matching, fundamentally overlooking the instability dynamics of the human support system.

Beyond Simulated Benchmarks: Evaluating Motion Representations for Fall Detection Under Real-World Data Scarcity

Falls are a major health concern for older adults, and wearable sensors have been widely explored for detecting falls and enabling timely intervention. However, real-world falls are extremely rare: collecting 100 of them requires an estimated 100,000 days of monitoring, resulting in severely limited labelled data for training machine learning models.

Low-Cost Neuromorphic Fall Detection Using Synthetic Event Data and Hybrid SNNs

arXiv:2606. 18732v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work presents the development of hybrid models that integrate spiking neural networks (SNNs) with components of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to learn from simulated event-based camera data (Dynamic Vision Sensor, DVS) generated from conventional smartphone videos.

Toward Postural State Classification in Immersive VR with Multimodal Data and Explainability Analysis

This study evaluates machine learning and deep‑learning models for classifying balanced versus imbalanced postural states in immersive virtual reality using a multimodal dataset of kinematic, EMG, and EDA signals. The Mamba‑inspired CNN (MI‑CNN) achieved the highest accuracy (96.76%) and, through SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), identified kinematic features as the most influential for detecting imbalance. Even after reducing input dimensionality by 33% based on SHAP importance, the model maintained near‑optimal performance (0.957 accuracy and F1‑score).
